HBT Correlators -- Current Formalism vs. Wigner Function Formulation
arXiv:hep-ph/9407405 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(94)01277-6
Abstract
We clarify the relationship between the current formalism developed by Gyulassy, Kaufmann and Wilson and the Wigner function formulation suggested by Pratt for the 2-particle correlator in Hanbury-Brown Twiss interferometry. When applied to a hydrodynamical description of the source with a sharp freeze-out hypersurface, our results remove a slight error in the prescription given by Makhlin and Sinyukov which has led to confusion in the literature.
